9) If AB = AD + DB and AD = AC, then AB = AC + DB because of the? a. Reflexive property b. Symmetric property c. Transitive property d. Substitution property

OpenStudy (yuki):

instead of AD, you used AC because we know that they're equal

OpenStudy (yuki):

whenever things like that happen, it's ok because of the "substitution" property

OpenStudy (yuki):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (yuki):

the reflexive property goes like this A = B then B = A

OpenStudy (yuki):

oops, sorry that's the symmetric property you see that the equation is symmetric, right ?

OpenStudy (yuki):

the reflexive property is A = A you are equal to yourself it's like looking your "reflection" in your mirror

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if AD = AC, then AC = AD because of the? a. Reflexive property b. Symmetric property c. Transitive property d. Substitution property

OpenStudy (yuki):

the transitive property says, A = B and B =C,,, then A = C think of it as B is the "translator" and lets A connect with C, so it's called the transitive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that relllllllxive too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer for the last question that I just posted is C?

OpenStudy (yuki):

look at the eqn.s they look symmetric right? so it is the "symmetric" property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and what about this one AC = AC because of the? a. Reflexive property b. Symmetric property c. Transitive property d. Substitution property

OpenStudy (yuki):

come on, this one is obvious :) look carefully at my notes, it explains it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reflexive?

OpenStudy (yuki):

yep
